Tritoniopsis parviflora buds in profile

Description

A spike of Tritoniopsis parviflora buds emerging into flower and seen roughly in profile, allows inspection of the unequal pair of maroon-tipped bracts holding the base of each flower.

The flowers are spaced and ascend outwardly angled, the lower ones leading proceedings by disclosing green anthers on down-curved filaments below the upper tepal. This photo was taken in Bainskloof during October.
